Hi guys,
Sorry for posting again! I just feel so lost and confused now.
I woke up this morning and thought : "I don't want to be be a pharmacist". I never thought this before until today.
So, like what any intelligent person would do, I googled "I hate being a pharmacist" haha. And then I went to read about all these people who regret the career choice that they have made, complaining about the rude customers, about how they never get to apply their knowledge, that they never get breaks, ext.
At the end of the day, I know that my passion is not pharmacy. I only picked it because I LOVE pharmacology , and I am not a fan of lab work/research so I decided that pharmacy is for me.
I don't even believe in taking drugs to cure many of the illnesses that people are experiencing today. I am a strong believer in lifestyle changes (obviously not everything is related to lifestyle changes, but since that the #1 killer in America is heart disease, which is preventable, then I am assuming that I am going to be filling out alot of BP-lowering drugs, ext...)
I was even diagnosed with something that was "incurable" and my doctors pushed all these pills at me, but I didn't take any. I made drastic lifestyle changes and completely reversed my 'disease'.
I want to talk with patients. I want to educate people about making lifestyle changes, since I am so passionate about that. I am completely in the wrong field aren't I?
